[Shanedixon]

I tried do update the image on my view plus i should of just left it basically i created a back up on the box itself then deleted the backup as i thought i wouldnt need it my box then crashed and is stuck in start mode is ther anybody who can fix this for me or recommend somewher i can send it to as the shop i use is getting ridiculous and would rather not use them anymore cheers :)

[Bazzer]

When you say update which image did you update and to what image. More info helps

[Shanedixon]

Basically i never updated it i was goin to i created a back up first then deleted the back up as thought i wouldnt need it the minuite i deleted the back up the box crashed and wouldnt start again

[Bazzer]

You still not answered the question m8 which image was you on when it was working and which one are you trying to install. I suggest downloading the latest Hades image and start from scratch with a No Settings Restore.

[Bazzer]

Are you trying to flash via USB.

[Bazzer]

[Bazzer]

[Shanedixon]

Like insay before i flashed i did a back up then i thought i didnt need the back up so deleted it then box crashed and stuck saying starting with nothing coming on my tv i tried to put thhe new vwrsion of hades on it with a usb formatted to fat 32 still nothing tried disconnecting hard drive inside still nothing and the shop i use are just pointless to try and get hold of no help at all

[Bazzer]

There should be no need to disconnect the HDD. Have a look at the thread I sent you see if that helps

[Andy_Hazza]

On the rear of the receiver do you see anything like V2.0 or V3.0? We need to rule out it being a clone first.

first question is the box saying starting in the display and showing a red light=redlight of death issue ?
second question when trying to flash box by usb is it formatted to fat32 and 8gb max,working usb cruzer,kingston and integral?

[cactikid]

we all have got this at one stage;)

[Shanedixon]

It has a sticker saying v3.2 but as far as im aware its genuine iv had a look inside and couldnt see any tell tell signs that it was a clone from what iv read up and yes its red light and says starting

[judge]

It has a sticker saying v3.2

It's a clone.

[cactikid]

need others to say if its a clone as original units dont have stickers and wondering if you did an online update that hit the box?

ahh bugger now we know sorry m8.

[Larry-G]

No genuine Vu+ receiver has ever been shipped from the factory with any form of sticker showing a version number, yours is 100 percent counterfeit and as such you wont get any further help for it here.

[Shanedixon]

Oh ok sorry i was told bu the person who i got it of its genuine and iv looked inside for signs of it being a clone and mine doesnt match any of the stuff iv seen il leave the forum thanks anyhow

[cactikid]

it just means you will get no support for that box ,buy an original and get plenty of help:thumbsup:

[electrocop]

If you haven't had the box long, perhaps you can get your money back from the guy you bought it from as he deceived you when selling it - after all, if he'd told you it was a clone, you would probably have thought twice about buying it...... most sellers (especially on ebay) will say it's an original for that very reason.
Although you won't get any help on here for a clone box, there are other forums that may provide help, and if your box has a label on the top with a web address saying where to download suitable images, then go there and try re-flashing with a clone-safe image. That's about as much as i'll be allowed to say on the subject i'm afraid.......

Sorry but closing this thread. Take the issue up with the person you bought the clone from and your local trading standards.
